Bill Hill - There is only one space after a period

Welcome to Channel 9. We are five guys at Microsoft who want a new level of communication between Microsoft and developers. We believe that we will all benefit from a little dialogue these days. This is our first attempt to move beyond the newsgroup, the
blog, and the press release to talk with each other, human to human.

lenn,
Great idea. Take more cold medicine!
A good start. Keep it up.
Great!
This seems to be the thing we waited for a very long time. I wish you lots of power to keep up with the neverending demands of the developer community
Thanks, and best wishes
Tolo
This is going to be great! I can feel it!
Cheers,
/Lars.
Damn ... I thought it tasted a lot like licorice.
Or maybe it was the codine cough medicine ...
Guess I should drink the whole bottle next time huh?
In all seriousness, thanks for the kind words folks. Glad to see you all here.
Keep the conversation coming.
congrats, keep it going
Comment removed at user's request.
Very nice to see. While I have always known that the folks at the monster that is Microsoft are in fact folks like myself, that have the same sorts of desires and drives it will definately be nice to get proof and to have a dialog of sorts with those folks.
My own situation is so devoid of conversation with the thinkers of the industry I view this as a sort of replacement for that, in many ways a better replacement for that conversation that is lacking now.
Good job on the launch fellows...
Good idea~
I will come here every night from now on.

Well for one I saw that jeffsand was on at 2:45am eastern. Even if he is in Redmond (Which I believe he is) thats just a touch before midnight.
"We don't know if we're actually going to create something and release it, so why tell people about it?"
When I ran a beta site, I used to have 20k+ people a day coming to my site for that exact reason. It's ANY pre-release features - whether or not they'll make it into the final product - which people get the most excited about.
In fact, things like the Redshark program - Codename Neptune and Odyssey - are still some of the most talked about things in the beta scene, excluding Longhorn. Things like Activity Centers and the Sideshow should've been shown off back then, and things like
DCE and MIL should be shown off now.
These are the sort of things which keep people up at night; mainly out of frustration that they're being "kept in the dark" about them, somewhat. Not to mention all of the community efforts to unlock these features - DCE being a great case point to look at.
Spread across about 4 large community forums there've been close to 7 or 8 individual attempts to unlock and enable DCE in build 4029, 4051, and 4053; the latter two from backporting off the core DLLs from 4029. If MS were to come out and release the info
themselves, it would give developers and beta enthusiasts alike a chance to play with these features before WinHEC.
Anyway, that's just my 2 pence.

No need to make it an MPEG or edit it in Movie Maker to create a WMV as a final file.Steve411 wrote:Well, i'am guessing they animated it then made it an MPEG, somehow, then probably compiled the whole thing with movie maker. That would be my guess...

I don’t know what I think, but I hope that this Channel9 ride is the beginning of something beyond most imagination.
Good luck, have fun with this...

Guys - This was a fantastic idea, especially for someone from Australia, like me. I'm on the other side of the world and just from this, it brings you to me... WOW (maybe we need to call it 'No More Gaps' (I hope that they sell that in the US??)
Would be great if it could be two-way, like a confrenece call, having and seeing other viewers being streamed back out as well. Could be kewl for you / us to see what others are doing??
I'm over-flowin' with things that would be kewl for you guys to cover, and I haven't had any couch mixture..
Very kewl.
hi there,
i'm a pilot too... not flying a 747 like you guys, but still...
now, that you mentioned about us expressing our wishes in the open, i will send you my first one...
i would like to know how could a compiler engineer (obviously not working for Microsoft) have access to (let's say, something cool like) Phoenix source code (or at least interfaces), under nda, at evening time. is this possible? does one have to sign an nda
for that? does one have to get more rain for something like that to happen? the question is as simple as the purpose (getting closer to the common backend, you can hook more frontends into Phoenix, in a completely open and proactive manner...) which should
sound good to you too... more supported languages, more outstanding tools, healthier the platform, etc...
ps
i heard alot of voices like "oh, this is cool" or "this rocks"... but i am trying to see if this site goes beyond having a nice chit-chat with happy passangers my 7 years from Home sound more like "hey, we have work to do!" so... can we do it or not...
// just my 2c...
regards,
daniel

You guys SUCK!
Naw... just kidding, great site guys.
Oh and another thing: you SUCK!
Oh wait one more thing... them penguins are some funny lookin birds.
This really brought into focus, for me, what Channel9 is all about.
To me, it is getting easier to shine as a company if you just focus on the support of your product on the various levels that are available (take Channel9 for instance).
Why?
I believe so because I see more and more companies (very apparent in the "Brick-and-Mortar" landscape) falling behind on customer support.
This happened recently with a product I bought and posted a message (polite, to the point) about a feature that was to be added in (my suggestion). The developer has yet to respond to my post. And he is slow to respond on other posts.
This is just one example in an endless cycle of poor customer support, as far as I am concerned.
So, to come full-circle... why I believe it is easier to shine as a company now-a-days? Start by genuinely caring (again?) about your customers.
Just think, it's pretty dang hard for the average, decent person to bad-mouthed a company if they are being treated constantly as a team member.
I enjoyed this video and appreciate what you five guys are setting out to accomplish!
(clap, clap)
Friends of the MSDN Canal 9,
Would like to suggest that yours places legends (Spanish). So that in the ones of Latin America let us can have access to the dialogues in the videos. The English is very fast in videos .
I am certain of that this resource will be of great important for all with loves technology and the technologies of the Microsoft.
Sory, but my English is very bad. The important one is to participate is not same?
A big hug for all,

I have joined all the way from Australia, and can't wait to get a few minutes to browse around the site and see what's going on.
Keep up the good work!

Good work. I entered here the first once and it seems me that this place includes a lot of interesting materials, particularly for a Video. It will be better if the my opinion will encourage you to update this website very often.
Thanks a lot.

Hi,
this is a really great Idea.
I like the videos you guys create.
It really helps me to stay up to date and to see what Microsoft is doing at the moment.
It is also great that you inform about a lot of minor topics. It is often times difficult to find information about those somewhere else.
Go on like that!
Great Job Guyz!
It's great step!
The first Channel 9 post. History!
interesting
